Keywords: NATO,missle Sender: news@hoss.unl.edu (Network News Administer) Organization: University of Nebraska - Lincoln Distribution: local Date: Mon, 26 Nov 90 02:05:46 GMT In case my name somehow doesn't make it to the header of this posting, I'll state it here. My name is Jonathan Skean and I wonder if anyone who knows will be kind enough to tell me how the old Soviet SKEAN missle came to have my family name. My last posting to this group was identified as coming from the UNL news administrator so if this happens again please don't trouble him or her with e-mail responses. You can reach me at CHEM001@HOSS.UNL.EDU or JONATHAN@UNLCDC2.BITNET. I'll bet nobody knows about the SKEAN but perhaps someone can contribute a comment about NATO nomenclature in general. Thanks, Jonathan.
